"The Snoqualmie Indian Tribe has purchased thousands of acres of ancestral forestlands in east King County, land that holds special meaning to the people who have been without a reservation for generations.
“This means a whole new level of connection," says Jaime Martin, a tribal member and Executive Director of Governmental Affairs.
They have named the land the Snoqualmie Tribe Ancestral Forest.
"The land is is not just a place, it's connected to us as people," Martin said. "And so I think including our ancestors in that title is really critical and important, and speaks to the tribes values in this transaction.""
